Definitions
- the invention relates to a hydraulic apparatus for bodily care, in particular for oral care.
- the apparatus includes a hydraulic pressurized pik or hydraulic pressurized toothbrush and a dentifrice reservoir which can be adjusted with respect to flow rate or turned off when not in use.
- the dentifrice reservoir further comprises fortified container enclosure which strengthens the reservoir, allowing the user to grip the container easily to add more dentifrice.
- This invention further relates to subject matter of special concern to gum and tooth irrigation appliances, although it has been recognized that many of the improvements in appliances for that field also find useful application in other areas such as the medical cleansing of wounds or cavities.
- the present invention relates to a system devised for treating periodontal disease. More particularly, it relates to a hand-held device in the nature of a hydraulic pik or hydraulic toothbrush which may be used by a lay person in his home or on his travels to conduct a course of antisepsis and maintenance treatment of that disease.
- Periodontal disease i.e., gingivitis and periodontitis.
- gingival and alveolation known as plaque which causes deepening of the normal gingival crevice, leading to gum recession and deep gingival pockets.
- Bacterial inflammation is the main cause of these conditions.
- These pockets then retain more food and bacteria in their base, where the pathology develops, which pockets are not reachable for cleaning by ordinary means, and the trapped food debris becomes growth medium for bacteria. This then perpetuates the septic, inflammatory process and extends the pathology so that as pockets get deeper, the alveolar bone dissolves, pus extrudes, and the teeth become loose. This is a condition commonly known as pyorrhea.
- some commercial pulsating devices such as that sold under the trademark "Water-Pik",TM intended to dislodge food debris between teeth and massage the outer surface of the gums, may be unsuitable for periodontal treatment because they do not supply sufficient water pressure and may not induce antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and other treatment effects. Their effect in the periodontal pocket, if any, is extremely short lasting. Thus, the patient is left without recourse to home therapy and must rely upon course after course of painful dental surgery and curettage and further progress of the disease.
- Dental hygiene devices include means for spraying the oral cavity are well known.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,062,795 entitled "Therapeutically Caring for the Mouth and Throat" issued on Nov. 5, 1991 to Woog whose disclosure is incorporated herein by reference, discloses a method and apparatus for moisturizing and therapy of the mouth and throat.
- a nebulized fine pulsating spray of relatively small droplets is applied.
- the pressure and temperature of the spray are controlled to obtain optimum penetration.
- a liquid pulse generator and moisturizing break-up nozzle are employed by the apparatus of this reference.
- the nozzle head may be rotated by a motor or self-actuated by tilting the tips out of the plane of the spin axis.
- the nozzle tips also may be canted radially to undercut and peel away the coating.
- the nozzle assembly may be continuously or intermittently actuated, fixedly or movably mounted, and used singularly or in plural array. Specific applications are described for descaling metal, cleaning electrolytic bath deposits from electrodes, and removing resinous materials from metal surfaces.
- the hydraulic apparatus comprises a handpiece connected via a pipe to a pump through an outlet orifice of the casing and a liquid reservoir feeding the pump, in the position of non-utilization the handpiece and the pipe rolled up in a spiral are accommodated on a platform.
- the end of the pipe connected to the outlet orifice of the casing is installed rotationally movably about the axis of the pipe.
- the platform is itself installed on the casing in a movable manner about an axis perpendicular to the plane of this platform, by a turning adapter mounted in the outlet orifice of the casing.
- the apparatus is a dental hygiene device for therapeutically caring for the mouth and throat.
- the liquid reservoir can be turned upside down to encase the liquid driving mechanism and the nozzle for a compact storage position.
- the sidewalls of the reservoir is undulated so as to provide a convenient way to grip or engage the lid of the reservoir.
- a system for cleansing a patient's ear contains a control unit, a portable applicator, and a means for modifying the flow of fluid from the device when temperature or pressure limits are exceeded.
- the control unit contains a heater, a pump, and control means for maintaining the temperature of the liquid within certain limits, for limiting the pressure of the liquid, and for varying the flow rate of the liquid.
- the portable applicator contains a handpiece, a nozzle which is connected to the fluid source and is mounted on the handpiece, and a means for providing a signal to the control unit.
- An irrigation appliance uses a reservoir which inverts to form a cover and includes a simplified valve in the reservoir as well as a switching mechanism adapted thereto. Liquid delivered to the unit from the reservoir is controlled as to pressure by adjustment on the hand-held device remote from the unit.
- the base unit In the base unit are elements which regulate forward and backward flow in order to obtain outlet pressure control.
- a periodontal pocket irrigating and treatment system includes a dispenser capable of containing a medication.
- the system enables an individual patient to self-administer a medication or irrigant into periodontal pockets while home or travelling.
- a housing holds a tube of medication, and a roller squeezes the tube, thereby releasing an incremental portion of the medication therefrom.
- a control operable from the outside of the housing, urges the roller in increments along the interior of the housing, squeezing the tube in a controlled fashion.
- a nozzle is attached to the tube for delivering the medication from the tube through a nozzle end of small diameter to the periodontal pocket.
- a flexible tip is attached to end of nozzle for elimination of pain and for guidance around curvatures of the periodontal pocket.
- the medication preferably is a gel, but may be in other form, which includes an active medication and a water-soluble carrying agent. In one embodiment, the active medication is contained in micro-pellets in the gel.
- the invention discloses various ultrasonic dental equipment primarily adapted to be used for professional dental purposes as well as various dental procedures capable of being performed with the ultrasonic instrumentation.
- the ultrasonic dental system permits the user to selectively utilize a variety of fluids within the oral hygienic procedures carried out by the dentist.
- the fluids may be selective medicaments that are pumped through the dental system from either an external source i.e., water, to various other fluids each for its intended usage.
- a still further object is to afford the user with a greater degree of convenience in control of the pressure of delivered irrigating water or other dentifrice liquid.
- Another aspect of the present invention involves a novel valve for use between such a shower, hydraulic pik or hydraulic toothbrush and dentifrice reservoir.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a device which is capable of being conveniently hand held.
- the device is also hand controlled, and is capable of dispensing predetermined portions of medication or dentifrice into periodontal pockets.
- a primary object of the present invention is to provide a dental hygiene device that will overcome the shortcomings of the prior art devices.
- Another object is to provide a dental hygiene device in which the device can be easily attached to a shower head.
- An additional object is to provide a dental hygiene device in which a fog proof mirror may be mounted to said device to facilitate dental hygiene in the shower.
- An additional object is to provide a dental hygiene device whereby additional attachments may be stored.
- a further object is to provide a dental hygiene device which has interchangeable attachments such as a toothbrush, pik and razor.
- a further object is to provide a dental hygiene device which is hand held and has a push-button type of on/off valve contained within the handle.
- a further object is to provide a dental hygiene device that is simple and easy to use.
- a still further object is to provide a dental hygiene device that is economical in cost to manufacture.
